For replicating a source storage system, a scan module generates a source storage server description for each source storage server of the source storage system from a scan of the source storage system. The source storage server description includes a replication type and a source volume record for each source logical volume of the source storage server. A provision module determines a number of replicated instances of each source logical volume for a target storage system from the replication type. In addition the provision module generates a target storage server description for each target storage server of the target storage system from each source storage server description in response to the target storage system satisfying a target storage requirement.
